Cold Cucumber Soup

Mommy lunch parties are so fun! I need to start this at my own place. So here's how it goes: you invite other moms, with their kids, to lunch. Easy, right? Then you make some really good food for the moms and something easy for the kids to eat. It feels slightly fancy and like you are letting yourself indulge in something worthwhile.

I was invited to a lunch party and was served cold cucumber soup, caprese sandwich (with mayo and balsamic vinegar mixed together for a dressing...yum!), and pavlova for dessert. Holy heaven!

I had never had a cold soup and I think it might be wrong to call it a soup. Soup makes me think of something warm and chunky. So when you make it, think maybe chunky yogurt (that sounds gross)...okay, maybe...I don't know.

I do think it's best in a small bowl and served with a sandwich. It's the type of thing that you could eat several bites alone and then it tastes better almost as a sauce on something. Totally worth trying. I love the fresh herbs and crispness of the flavor.

Using a blender, mix all your ingredients together. Add less herbs at first and then add more to taste, same with the lemon juice. Blend so there are still chunks of little cucumbers in the soup. Garnish and enjoy in a small bowl as a side.
